Lost photos archive

Since 2017, I have been collecting old, amateur, and anonymous photographs, purchased from secondhand bookstores, antique shops, and websites, in a constantly expanding collection that already has more than 2,000 items.

Most of the images were taken in Brazil, but there are also records of people in Spain, the United States, Turkey, Russia, Argentina, France, Germany, and Latvia, among other countries.

The oldest photos in the collection date from the 1880s, while the newest are from the 1960s.
